Christopher Franks 1957-2014
It is with the greatest regret that the club have to inform members of the sudden death of Christopher Franks, a long term partner in Wisp and more recently Jessie May. Chris started sailing with the Green Wyvern as a teenager and was a member of the Yare Sailing Club since its re- founding. He will be sorely missed by the many people who knew him. Our sincere condolences to his mother and the rest of his family.
The funeral was held at 2.20pm on Thursday 6th November at Rosehill Crematorium in Doncaster. Friends and family gathered afterwards in the Scarborough Arms, Tickhill, to remember him.

Lifejackets
Would all club members and visitors participating in club races, or other organised water-borne club activities, please note that with immediate effect the committee strongly recommend the wearing of personal flotation devices whilst you are active on the water.
Additionally, you are reminded of ISAF Rule 1.2 which states, “Each competitor is individually responsible for wearing a personal flotation device adequate for the conditions."
Officers of the Day may make it mandatory for life jackets or similar to be worn while racing, with the penalty for not doing so being disqualification from the race in question.
This is for your own safety and all skippers and boat owners should ensure sufficient personal buoyancy aids for all crew members are carried on board at all times.

Gordon Winterton
I am very sad to report that Gordon Winterton, our president, died on the morning of December 17th. Our thoughts and sympathy go to his family, especially Rosie and Jonathan. I first remember him from the 1950’s when I was introduced to the Broads. I was in awe of him then, but quickly came to realise that he was a true friend. He was always helpful, good humoured and sometimes funny, but never malevolent. Until lately, when ill health started to take its toll, he was an almost permanent fixture on his beloved Force Four during club cruises. Many of us will have memories of his bluff charm when dealing with schoolboys and his robust humour in tricky situations. He had a great influence on many of us either directly or indirectly through his staunch membership and support of both our club and the Green Wyvern Yachting Club. We will miss him. Joe Kilner The funeral was at Norwich Crematorium on the 27th December. Over 80 people attended the service, which consisted of addresses by Jonathan Winterton, Mark Wells and Robin Jackson, followed by the singing of the Green Wyvern song, written by Gordon. Most people then adjourned to the Maid's Head for a champagne reception and an opportunity to catch up with some people not seen for many years.

Advice to Broads Boat Users
The following has been issued by the Broads Authority:
Due to the ongoing works being carried out by BESL (Broadland Environmental Services Limited) on behalf of the Environment Agency, and in conjunction with exceptionally high water levels, the following advice is given to all boat users:
· Keep well away from the edge of riverbanks - piling that is normally visible can be covered during project works and certain weather and water levels conditions.
· If in any doubt, sailing craft should tack short to avoid any potential hazards.
· Take note of any port and starboard marks and keep seaward of any temporary red warning markers denoting a potential hazard or obstruction. Be wary and keep clear of any work vessels, rigs, cranes, digger arms, barges and ground anchors.
· Check any area thoroughly before you attempt to moor and do not be tempted to moor where instructed not to do so.
· Boats must give way to towed or heavily loaded vessels or vessels restricted in their ability to manoeuvre - only overtake when advised by the skipper of the vessel.
· Report any new hazards or obstructions to the Broads Authority River Control on 01692 678459.
This advice applies until further notice.

| Bill Jenner 1922 - 2005
It's hard to imagine a cruiser event on the Yare without the diminutive figure of Bill Jenner, lounging across the tiller of his beloved Dragonfly, or strolling down the bank gossip-bound for the next chat session with one of his many friends.
Bill died this Spring, aged 83, but was still cruising and racing in 2003.
Bill had set himself twin targets for 2005. He was going to make it back on the water with Dragonfly, and he was going to make it through to this June which was his and Jacqui's 60th wedding anniversary.
But his illness returned in force to rob Bill of both his targets and all of us, of a splendidly cheerful companion and dogged fellow competitor.
Bill came back from WW2 after his RAF discharge to find Broadland sharing Britain's immediate postwar slump. The family boatbuilding and hire company, Jenner's of Thorpe, had been sold off, and was soon to disappear.
Bill and brother Jack worked, scrimped and saved, until by the early 60s, they were able to establish Maidencraft, as a worthy successor to Jenner's. It's operational practice became a by-word for personal friendly service, and attention to detail. It was in the late seventies that I enticed Bill and Jacqui, together with their delightful little river cruiser, Hiawatha, into Coldham Hall Sailing Club. With his usual humility, Bill said he 'wasn't really terribly keen on the racing bit,' but he'd 'give it a go'. Over 20 years later, after mopping up every cruiser trophy that Coldham Hall, and subsequently the YSC, had to offer, Bill's 'go' was still going strong, and no club prize-giving passed without him on his feet.
In time, Hiawatha fell victim to Bill's sporting ambitions, and in any case Bill had a lifetime love affair with the classic designs from Ernest Woods. Eventually, myself and others were placed on red alert, to report the availability of an Ernie Woods boat for purchase. And it had to be just the right boat at the right price. The legacy of those frugal postwar years, left Bill with a fierce dislike for wasting hard-earned cash. All those factors came good with Dragonfly, a sweet boat which responded particularly well to Bill's laid-back handling skills.
At yachting events, Bill was nearly always the greeting skipper; the first to arrive and recce the mooring most suitable for convenient access for Jacqui, and of course their beloved dogs. Once that job was done. he was there for everyone else, whether it was equipment loan, help with a repair, or just advice.
He'll be seriously missed and long remembered.
TC
